Technical "how-to" issues concerning using this site and language learning in general.

Having been to a few pronunciation sites already I'm still at a loss for how to say Necaxa as in Don Ramón's catchphrase Yo le voy al Necaxa. My DVD is not that clear-sounding when he says it. Could someone please spell it phonetically? I'm tempted to think Neh-cah-hah because of the way "x" is pronounced in the word México. Am I right?

As I said, there are many ways to pronounce "x" sounds here, and there are no clear rules for that. Most of the words with "x" come from different pre Hispanic languages, so they obey to specific sounds in the original language and to the different variations the Spaniards introduced when they couldn't pronounce them all.

Just to add to Angélica's comment about pre-Hispanic languages, in Iberian languages, x is pronounced as a sh sound except in Spanish. However, the change in Spanish is more recent than Spanish colonisation of the Americas. The x in México comes from the name of the Mexica people, pronounced roughly Mesh-i-ka and spelt Mexica because that's how the conquistadores romanised the Nahuatl name.
